Sarajevo War Tunnel Tour | Tunnel of Hope

Tour Attractions

War Tunnel
The tour begins with a short ride to the War Tunnel where during the car ride you will be introduced to the origins of the Balkans conflict, for gaining the better understanding of the Aggression of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Sarajevo Siege.

After we arrive at the Tunnel first we see the short real time 18 minutes long video about the Siege of Sarajevo and Tunnel of Hope (how it was dug up and experience of those who used it).
Normally, we see and go through the Tunnel itself, but only for 25 meters what was previously 800m. Why? You shall find out if you book a tour :)
At the end you will have the opportunity to see the Museum part of the Tunnel with interesting exhibits, materials and photos.
Of course the whole tour is 100% time covered with a stories from the first class guide always willing to answer any kind of question at all times.

Sniper Alley and Jewish Cemetery
On the way back from the Tunnel we talk about the other sites of the Siege, and we visit the Jewish Cemetery, which used to be one of the first lines of battle, and from which the greatest sniper danger to citizens of Sarajevo was coming from.
From this viewpoint we really see what the Sarajevo Sniper Alley really was.

Goat's Bridge
After we are finished with Siege stories, we proceed to Goat's Bridge, one of rarely seen but historically the most interesting sites. The Bridge first time mentioned in 1550. The Bridge is almost the same as the Old Bridge in Mostar, but perhaps once even more significant.
Before we reach the Bridge we shall discuss a bit about the Latin Bridge and the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand, about the first mosque in Sarajevo - Imperial Mosque, a few word about the City Hall and many many other sites.
With us, surely, you will not miss it.

Yellow Bastion and White Bastion
After we have learnt the most important things about Ottoman Empire and have seen the Bridge, we move again to higher altitude to see the Yellow and White Bastion. Two bastions built pretty far away in the stormy history of this great city.

P.S. Keep in mind that one of the main reasons (aside of history and view) why we are visiting White Bastion is our greatest desire to test your Acrophobia, meaning fear of great heights. Why? You will find out once we are there :)

Keep in mind that the car ride towards the Museum and back is enriched with videos about the time of Siege in Sarajevo, original documentaries and video materials on the subject of Sarajevo everyday life during the times of misfortune.

Our way ends up at the Baščaršija square where the drop off will take place.
